[quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. A couple strategies that might help a little: Be more proactive with telling your kids to wait. They don’t need to have every little request attended to immediately. So, you also learn to stretch out the time between request and jumping into help. Also when you need uninterrupted blocks of time, tell everyone you are going into x room or will be in the computer or wherever, and you are not to be disturbed until 5 unless someone is bleeding. Tell kids all requests are going to dad. If there’s a door where you are, shut it. If not, put headphones on. Then retrain them all by responding to every interruption with - is it 5? Repeat as necessary. Will take a while because you are retraining them (and retraining yourself not to hop up for everything immediately), but you’ll get there.[/quote]
